Softball Sucks!

I decided to participate in a weekend Softball Tournament this past weekend. I hadn't played softball since about the middle of last summer so since the tournament was going to be in West Point I figured I'd give it another go. Since graduating from High School I have played a lot of softball, especiallly in the last 3-4 years. Last year I even played on a team that had our own uniforms and got all kinds of free stuff. Eventually I stopped playing and really haven't missed it much, especially since I have been working out for baseball with my brother for the past 6 or 7 months.

Well, I was kind of excited about playing until the first game was over. I popped up to the third baseman twice in my only two at bats of the game. The ball was coming towards me so slow compared to a baseball, added to the fact that I didn't even get to take batting practice before I played. So after we got ten run ruled the first game I made sure I took batting practice. I ended up going 4-9 in 4 games, so it wasn't all bad, but I could have done a lot better.

I really didn't have much fun. I think after playing some baseball in the last few months I realized how much more I love baseball and I don't even want to go back to softball for a while. Hopefully I'll get to play some baseball this summer with the Tibbee Ramblin' Eagles and then in the adult fastball league later in the summer. We'll see.

Sidenote:
Doesn't look like MSU is going to the SEC Tournament this year. And who kept them out? That's right, Ole Miss. Just thought I'd throw that in there. Later folks.
